I still love my old phone Nokia 8250, easy to use and has perfect size.

Too many memories over 5 years we have spent together.
Although it’s not in its best condition now, still I dont want to replace it yet.

The fast changing world also changes our needs. My old phone can no longer support everything I need to do with cellular networks. But I rather buy new phone instead of replacing it.

Selamat datang perubahan. Aku akan mulai menerapkan kebijaksanaan finansial yang teratur.
Cashflow ku akan diatur dengan rapih, sesuai pelajaran dari Robert Kiyosaki dkk.

Aku akan mulai memikirkan masa depan, memulai investasi hari tua, asuransi kesehatan, KPR dll.
Dan juga persiapan nikah.
Gak mau jadi bujang lapuk penumpuk harta.

Tapi bingung, produk2 yang ditawarkan sangat beragam, harus mengedukasi diri sendiri dulu. Kalo udah jago ntar mo ikutan reksadana, main saham, properti dan lain-lainnya.
But the point is semua ini harus dimulai.
There’s always the first time in everything we do.

Hi Blog,
If I see the last date I wrote here, It has been xx months
So many things happened in between.
So what now? I really don’t know what to write. But I still want to write. Haha…
It’s your choice now to stop reading here or continue wasting your time because what I am going to write is nothing.
I am going to talk about love, especially cinta antara dua insan manusia (berbeda jenis kelamin) cie.. hue hue… suit suit…
…
…
…
no no,
after several times trying to start writing, I couldn’t do it. Love is just unavoidable, undeniable.
And I just dont know how to start talking about this.
Better to write about something else now.

Let’s talk about sports, whatever your sports are. Tennis, football, basketball, or anything. Or any other hobbies you do, music, gardening, travelling, or anything.
There will come times when you do your hobbies it become very frustating. The thought of “What am I doing here!?” will have came to your mind occasionally as well. Am I right? Iya kan?
(No? ya tenang aja, just beware because there’s something lurking in the dark waiting for an opportunity to start coming. haha)

My hobby is tennis. I love playing tennis, but I sometimes experienced the feeling “what am I doing here?!” while playing.
I do tennis just for fun, just for fun, just for fun. No business intention at all. Apalagi keinginan terjun ke pro… hahaha… no way laa, too late already. And I am also not that good.

Since I am not professionals it should not all be about winning with me. (Not that winning isn’t nice…it’s great!) To find the proper attitude we should be playing tennis with, we might have to go back over a 100 years in time to the early days of tennis. A time where tennis was played by rich people with big lawns and grass courts in their backyard. A time where good sportsmanship was actually normal. The games were alternated with drinking tea, the latest gossip and probably some decent betting. There was no television, no computer, nothing else to do really. They played for fun.

For pro player, it is a business. It’s their life. Sometimes they will behave like someone who is forced to play it. But when something extraordinary happens on the court - a volley duel, passing shot, smash - you will see the players come to life.
The same in football match. Do you see the look in the player who just score?! They come to life…

These are the moments where those top players temporarily forget they are in business and become like little kids. As a kid you understand that when you play the ‘perang-perangan’ and the other kid sneaks up on you and ’shoots you’, you can have lots of fun anyway by playing a death scene of Shakespearian proportions.

AC Milan were having more fun while they were defeating Manchester United last night.
Rafael Nadal are having more fun playing in clay court than Federer so that Federer couldn’t defeat him.
When you are having fun you tend to be in the moment. When you are in the ‘here and now’ you will start observe things rather than judge them.
The point is that you will be at your best when you are having fun.
